WWE: 4 Reasons Why Ryback Is Nothing Like Goldberg

4. Contrary To Popular Belief, Ryback Can Actually Wrestle

Ryback

Goldberg was a football player, not a wrestler. And that showed in the ring constantly during his tenure both in WCW and WWE. He is quite literally the botch King. I have seen him commit more sins in the ring in a single match than other wrestlers have done in their entire careers. And this is where the Universe and I tend to differ on Ryback. I think Ryback has actual mat skill whereas Goldberg had none. And when it comes to the smark argument about Rybacks seemingly inability to perform is where I get really annoyed. Because it all stems from one botch, the infamous match with Tensai. One botch, that is it. But when pressed for the same rhetoric when it comes to Goldberg their hypocrisy shines through every time Goldberg injured so many people and stuffed up so many spots on a regular basis that I actually found it embarrassing to watch the guy. But don't tell that to these people, he can do no wrong. Not to mention I believe that along with Lex Luger, he is to blame for the idea that a wrestler can be a superstar with only FIVE MOVES OF DOOM. Whereas Ryback has shown genuine mat skill and the ability to evolve. I have seen him pull off some actual mat wrestling that is a rarity among the bigger men. And contrary to popular belief, he has rarely botched. In fact, I believe that one match with Tensai has been his only serious stuff up. Considering that it was just as much Tensais fault for uneven distribution of weight as much as Rybacks throws the argument right out of the window in my opinion. And when it comes to Goldbergs supposed wrestling skill, his match against Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 20 is a great example. The worst Wrestlemania match EVER!

Passions in life: Movies, Music and Wrestling....My childhood was spent growing up in the "Outback" of Australia (I'm a little bit country) and my adulthood resided within the city limits (I'm a little bit rock and roll), so you could say that I am the best (or worst) of both worlds. A 6 foot 7 ex wannabe pro wrestler (whose career was cut short due to a busted back, NOT caused by wrestling) & muso who has a precocious cat & a habit of doing the wrong thing but for the right reasons. The story of my life???? All demos, no albums ;)
